Bill > SF925

This bill appropriates $250,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the environment and natural resources trust fund to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for a specific geological project. The funding will be used to update Information Circular 46, a geological document that inventories aggregate resources (such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone) in the seven-county metropolitan area around Minneapolis-Saint Paul. The update will focus on projecting future resource needs and estimating how long current aggregate resources will last. The bill also directs the commissioner of natural resources to perform duties related to this inventory under Minnesota Statutes, section 84.94. By providing this funding, the bill aims to help state and local planners understand the availability and sustainability of construction and infrastructure materials in the metropolitan region.
